After the system is awakened, Adhi turns out to be a supporting character. This world consists of a combination of several novels. Villains usually change plots to gain Villain points. Changing the plot means: The villain will plunder the Protagonist's luck, opportunity and heroine. If the Villain succeeds in changing the plot, the Protagonist's luck will decrease. Once the Protagonist's luck runs out, the Protagonist will lose his status as the Protagonist. Since Adhi became a supporting character, Adhi is in the Protagonist's camp. Adhi must prevent the Villain from changing the plot. If the Protagonist's luck decreases, Adhi's health will also decrease. After the Protagonist's luck decreases by another 4 times, Adhi will die. In this world, the Villain was also a transmigrator. Due to frequent reading of novels, Villain is very familiar with many plots. If you ask about my book? I became a supporting character! Billions of Villains were tortured and admitted defeat. This book tells about the MC who beat the Villain. Because the Villain is a transmigrator? This villain has knowledge of the plot. In short, this Villain frequently reads online novels. I don't diminish the Villain's intelligence. I hope you guys like my book. The currency here uses IDR. 1 USD is equal to 14.940 IDR.

She'd been disfigured, kidnapped, and nearly raped. She was originally a rich daughter in the Yi family. She was wealthy, pretty, and adored by many. However, these days, everybody hated her. All this happened on the day her illegitimate younger sister returned home. From the moment her sister stepped into the house, everyone was on her side. People constantly compared them to each other. They would always say how Yi Ke was proud and arrogant while her younger sister was gentle and considerate. She had an evil heart, while her younger sister was kind. Yi Ke only found out that she was the cannon-fodder female supporting character in a novel after she died. Meanwhile, her illegitimate sister was the female lead. Yi Ke reincarnated to a period approximately six years ago. At the age of seventeen, she packed up two trucks of resources and hid somewhere deep in the mountain. The male lead, Yu Heng, who would become successful in the future, was harvesting rice in the field. At the time, his father was bedridden at home, and his mother was severely ill. His entire family was in a precarious situation. Yi Ke had two trucks of luxurious resources. She ended up staying with Yu Heng. Did she want to make the male lead fall for her? No, she hated the man who appeared calm and grounded on the outside. Who said she had to make the male lead fall for her to kill the female lead's luck? Couldn't she just make the male lead hate the female lead? For this very reason, she started eating on her own next to the male lead while she watched and admired him toiling under the sun.

Though she married rich as well, she spurned her autistic husband, cheated on him, and eloped! Nonetheless, she was tied to an unknown system the day she transmigrated. It had the ability to observe her husband's mood, while informing her that the female lead intended to steal her husband from her! Once her defense rating dropped to zero, she would die... and she only had three days to fix that. If she wanted to reclaim what had been taken from her and stay alive, she must farm the happiness rating of her autistic husband. But with her fate tied to another person's mood, Zhou Miao wondered, ‘Isn't this life too harsh?’ Making an autistic person happy... How was it different from killing her? At night, she lifted an eyebrow as she watched a huge sad emoji linger over her husband's head as he sat on the edge of the bed, pouting and holding a teddy bear in his arms. Zhou Miao: Oh, what's wrong? You're unhappy? When I'm playing with you while putting my survival on the line?! Still, as he kept throwing a fit, she leaned in with a gentle smile and placed a soft peck on the tip of his ear. "What, you're not happy? How about another kiss?" A pretty pink appeared over the spot she kissed, and the huge sad emoji turned into a smiling emoji so enormous it almost hit Zhou Miao on the head. Watching her adorable husband and brushing her hair behind her ear, Zhou Miao thought to herself, ‘Elope? Not in this life! I will never get sick of freeloading or my handsome husband!’

    As an avid lover of novels, Su Luo’s heart couldn’t help but ache for the male supporting characters who never get a happy ending in these novels. No matter how much of a scum the male leads were, they would always end up with the female leads, while the supporting male characters were destined to be abandoned no matter how nice they were to the female leads. Why?! Perhaps her fury gauge had been maxed out, Su Luo was chosen by the transmigration system to enter various novel worlds to save the beautiful, strong, and tragic male supporting characters. As for how she could save them… Su Luo decided that sleeping with them was the answer! The first step to sleeping with them: Improve their relationship. When faced with a polite male supporting character, Su Luo said bashfully, “It’s pouring so hard outside. Can you send me home?” When faced with an unruly male supporting character, Su Luo lifted her chin and said proudly, “You’ve caught my eye. I’m giving you three seconds to consider going home with me!” When faced with a quiet male supporting character, Su Luo smiled gently. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll stay with you the entire time.” The second step to sleeping with them: Faintly seduce them to turn them into wolves. Su Luo shrieked inside the bathroom, luring the male supporting character to barge in out of concern. Their eyes would meet, and her fair naked body would turn into the greatest weapon of seduction. During mealtimes, accidental body contact below the dining table… The last step to sleeping with them: Have the male supporting characters fall for her body completely before slowly stealing their hearts. When faced with male supporting characters who liked meek women, Su Luo acted shy and pitiful in bed. “B-be gentle…” When faced with male supporting characters who were wild in bed, Su Luo knelt before the mirror and opened her legs. A charming glint flashed in her eyes. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up.” When faced with male supporting characters with unique preferences, Su Luo leaned down, hovering over the lower half of their body as she worked hard. “Mm, it’s so hard. I love it…”

    Have you ever come across a tale where a character's immense strength disrupts the storyline's equilibrium? Readers ponder over how this formidable character could meet defeat, prompting the Author to carefully consider a logical resolution. This predicament often befalls non-protagonist characters—be they villains or supporting figures—ultimately leading to a tragic demise that shapes the main character's development. As I awoke in an unfamiliar bed, gazing at the ceiling of an unknown room, the realization dawned on me. Was I experiencing the clichéd phenomenon of transmigrating into the story I had just completed? Given my current state, the answer seemed affirmative. However, to my surprise, I found myself inhabiting the role of Fawwaz Nor Everglen—the strongest supporting character in the narrative, neither the reformed villain nor the cautious mob character entwined with the protagonist. While not as dire as previous cases, unsettling facts fueled my anxiety. I now embodied Fawwaz, a character with a myriad of scripted deaths designed to propel the protagonist's growth. His unbridled strength led to varied demises, from authoritative to ludicrous, profoundly influencing the story's trajectory through his pivotal connection with the protagonist. Fawwaz's predictable demise stemmed from the disruption he caused to the balance of power between good and evil. Moreover, every narrative path devised by the author seemed to culminate in two possibilities: my demise or the demise of all characters except the protagonist. It appeared the author had a penchant for tragic endings. Undeterred, I resolved to alter this fate. My goal was to ensure not only my own survival but also that of everyone else, fostering a happy conclusion. Armed with determination, I embarked on a journey to defy any potential future deaths.

However, this duke, who cared for no one, grabbed her by her lapels and latched himself onto her as soon as he saw her like a treasure he found. As the storm began to brew, her wish to evade all conflict was canceled as someone insisted on announcing her status to the world. One day, the sickly duke held her hand and coughed horridly. "Su Su, do you like me?" As she lapsed into momentary silence, his coughing intensified. It was as though he would cough himself to death before her if she dared reject him. She nodded hastily. "I like you. I like you very, very much." The moment she finished speaking, the mischievous duke finally settled down.
